This sampler was designed by Full Circle Designs and included many specialty stitches, some beads and two rows of flax that were couched into place. The berries at the bottom were constructed with beads. The large stars in the sky were done in a metallic braid. The fabric is linen. I love the eyelets in the tree at the bottom.
